how to hide the chat panel in teams?

I like to keep my teams small so previously, with 80% zoom and the teams window as small as possible, I realized that the chat panel would auto hide and it would show only when I hover my mouse over Chat.

However, recently chat panel would stay open so it is taking up quite a space in my small teams window. Does anyone know how to make this chat panel auto hide itself?

Only way to make it hide is if I make the zoom 115% which is ridiculously large for me...

    This worked for me without needing to Reset. Repair was enough. I did sign-out and back in to restart the app. What a relief!

    So this worked for me, but only lasted for a few days. The Chat list is back and won't go away. This is incredibly annoying

    I just adore when Microsoft messes up and calls it a feature. It is not a feature, development messed up. Auto hide is an important feature for many people forced to use your products at work.

    On macOS this is broken and re-installing the app does not fix it. This really needs to be fix.
